#
#	Given a list of objects, strip all static symbols except those
#	required by insmod.
#
#	Copyright Keith Owens <kaos@ocs.com.au>.  GPL.
#	Sat Feb  1 12:52:17 EST 1997
#	
#	Mainly intended for reducing the size of modules to save space
#	on emergency and install disks.  Be aware that removing the
#	static symbols reduces the amount of diagnostic information
#	available for oops.  Not recommended for normal module usage.
#
#	This code requires the modules use MODULE_PARM and EXPORT_.
#	Do not strip modules that have not been converted to use
#	MODULE_PARM or are using the old method of exporting symbols.
#	In particular do not use on modules prior to 2.1.20 (approx).
#
#	The objects are stripped in /tmp, only if the strip works is
#	the original overwritten.  If the command line to strip the
#	symbols becomes too long, the strip is done in multiple passes.
#	Running strip_module twice on the same object is safe (and a
#	waste of time).
